I’ve got a big old problem shape shifters all around

where did my world go? one minute everything is home and friends and new york times and lawn beware the blob they said how was I to know they meant the ups delivery man the koi in the tank and the anchorwoman

I’ve got a big old problem shape shifters all around

shape shifter shape shifter you gotta quit that shifting of shapes I accepted what you were and then everything changed and I don’t want to live in any place where the people are shifting their shapes

they’re such a liar they said the planet wouldn’t undulate and then burst into flames what used to be my house? is it that purple tentacle? or is that the tv repairman? the clarinet? the vegetable stand?

I’ve got a big old problem shape shifters all around

shape shifter shape shifter you gotta quit that shifting of shapes I accepted what you were and then everything changed and I don’t want to live in any place where the people are shifting their shapes

I’ve got a big old problem shape shifters all around

if you’re someone I used to know I sure don’t recognize you so I’m only hanging round amorphous mounds in the town where nothing familiar can be found

flipping this one final switch i’m effectively insuring that i will be overcoming all resistance long after my remains have been vaporized with extreme prejudice and shot into outer space i’ll be haunting you

need i remind you of the oath you swore in 1993 don’t act like you don’t act like you know why you flinch at the image of these words that permanently skywritten in the ashes of my incinerated legacy i’ll be haunting you

i’ll be haunting you i’ll be haunting you as you are staring into outer space

my absence has been weaponized the empty sockets where my eyes are swiveling to recognize and pin you down i’m the ringing in your ears rewriting all your fears and you’re the only one who hears the sound telltale beating floorcase on this unreleasing remix that rises like a phoenix from the ground

i’ll be haunting you i’ll be haunting you i’ll be haunting you as you take in your outer spatial views when you look up you’ll remember me and then i’ll be haunting you

thank you for going back in time and thwarting my assassin and while we’re laughing about it I know you didn’t really do that. this was a test and you failed.

before you fire I should inform you one of us is a double I took the trouble to swap ties somebody taps you on the shoulder you don’t know who is your friend

let’s all just take a deep breath and slowly lower our weapons to the floor I am alone in the three part folding mirror on the bathroom door I am alone in the three part folding mirror on the bathroom door

everyone take off your disguises I see you and your brother dressed as each other this time so now it appears the double crossers have been too clever by half

the fox has been outfoxed again the row of smug expressions all arrayed around are wiped away so

let’s all just take a deep breath and slowly lower our weapons to the floor I am alone in the three part folding mirror on the bathroom door I am alone in the three part folding mirror on the bathroom door I’m by myself in the three part folding mirror on the bathroom door
